It is my view that because of the way we do it in this State, the commercial sensitivity argument has been used to almost frustrate information that is given to committees such as this one. If, even after three years, we are not getting the look-back reports, that is a problem. Having done some research, I raised the example of British Columbia. I do not know whether the Comptroller and Auditor General's office is aware of those types of models or other international models that are better at providing information because once a project is signed up to, that is it. I am not sure why we have to wait three years but my understanding is that in those areas in Canada, comprehensive reports are provided.
